The Many Storied Life launched as Theory of Narrative Causality: From YKTTW
Tanto: I seem to remember there being some interesting discussion here, pre-Crash...
Anyway. This quote...
Donovan Deegan: And how, praytell, did you deduce all that?
Quilt: Because it's very dramatic.

...is better suited for Rule of Drama, if it's suited for anywhere. (It may be too long to be a page quote.) I also deleted more Final Fantasy Tactics Advance "Marche is Hitler" flamebait, because it's just more bitching about a nonexistant plot hole and doesn't even have anything to do with this trope.
Pulled FFTA again. No characters in the game demonstrate Genre Savviness, nor is the Theory of Narrative Causality applied in any fashion. It's Complaining About Games You Dont Like.
